Would you recommend this for a toddler's room? Seeing as they stay cool to the touch, use very little electricity, not too bright, and super flat?

I don't have kids but they really are flat and cool to touch. They are brighter than you might think but probably good for a kid's room. I am very sensitive to light though when I sleep. I have one in our hallway and one in the guest bathroom.

I've had these for years. They emit no heat at all whatsoever. They are safe for kids and pets. It's not super bright. They are a pleasant blue glow and lie almost flat to the wall. They're just a thin piece of hard plastic, maybe the thickness of 4 or 5 credit cards.

Yes. I don't have a toddler, but I don't think there would be any safety issue if your kid pulls it out of the socket and it would make a good night light if you're just looking for something that provides enough light so your kid won't be sleeping in total darkness.

It is cool to touch. Its a good heater for our bonus room which is big and didnt run up the electric bill too bad! It would be ok with kids

I used the reveal 40 watt bulb. The lamps have 3 settings so the lowest be good for a nightlight. It will not shut off on its own. I would recommend using one lamp because using both may give off too much light. I've not had any trouble with the touch function or interference with static. I would think you could use a lower watt bulb but must be a chandelier type. You could start off with the highest setting and when your child gets accustomed to it, gradually go to the middle and then lowest setting. I have one of those lighted branch trees on my dresser that compliments these lights too. I used the reveal 40 watt bulb. The lamps have 3 settings so the lowest be good for a nightlight.

I use it in my 2 year old's room, but I don't keep it in his crib with him. For our next child I will do the same thing from a much younger age, because I think it establishes a nice patterned light to fall asleep to. My two year old loves when I bring out the turtle, place it on the floor and turn out the lights!

Yes the box is cool to the touch just not the very front where hot air blows out,,I have a little one here he has never bothered it,,good luck works very well and I like that you can program it to come on and off as needed,I set mine to come on a hour before we get up in the morning,,

It would be about as much as a nightlight. Except the light is not concentrated to a small area of the wall that it is plugged into. The turtle projects small stars over the ceiling, a much broader space. The orange light is quite delicate so you do not have to worry about it being to bright in the room if that is a concern. The blue and green are more bright. I usually have it slowly fade into each color and my now 9 month old daughter loves it. If you prefer one constant color it has that capability as well. I hope this helps!

It's been my experience that most children are little heaters regardless. I have not noticed an change in their temperature or sleeping habits. They are too young to be trusted with answering the question. We are happy with them and would buy them again.

I haven't used the regular versions but I think it should be good for a nursery. Right now I am using it as laptop speakers for my room about 12x13 ft bedroom. It also depends how much and what you're going to play on it. I usually only plug in mine for video streams and online radios on medium volume (this can be pretty loud with some distortion at maximum volume) for less than 3 hrs most of the time. For I wouldn't use these for tv speakers where you're using it for extended periods of time. The cords provided are about 2 ft long btw.

Actually, it's perfect for a toddler. Buying it for an infant is just a very cute decoration for his room.

Kind of depends on the room and what you're going for. Probably not. It's a fairy subdued look and the light isn't overpowering. Wouldn't recommend that for a bedroom or anything along those lines though.

On level 1 it's fine. We only keep it on level 1, that seems to be sufficient. On the highest level it is pretty loud. We use it in a 600sqft space, which is not recommended, and it cools the whole room :) hope this helps!

These would be great for a child's room. I actually use the night light size bulb. The small ones. You can get up to 40 watt. but obviously for night light you wouldnt want that. Sometimes,but not that often they might go off or on with a power surge or if you had a cat that touched it. But it isn't an every night thing. They come on with the lightest touch. So even a little ones touch would turn it back on. Good luck. Children afraid of the dark, can be a tough period.

We decided to purchase another one- our room is about the same- it just didnt seem to have the best effect. The side of the room with the one was perfect- but the other side was "dull". I hope this helps!

I have accidentally left it on over night and there was no problem with overheating, when I noticed it the next afternoon. The globe is very thin and fragile and will break in to many small sharp pieces if struck, so I don't think it is appropriate as a night light for a child.

I can see the kids perfectly. It does not emit any light in their room, if that's what you're wondering.

Yes.....the entire unit is cool to the touch.....the only place kids should not touch is the wire grate in front where the hot air is coming out.

I'd have to say delicate, the arms and legs are quite floppy and no heat is probably better. Maybe try placing the toy on a hanger and put a fan close by (five feet away)? And then turn it after three hours.
